Version number probes are inherently fragile. Can you do a feature
probe instead, in case someone backports this feature to a build of
iptables that reports an earlier version?

+ #change ctstate tback o state

Do we even need the version/feature probe? What if we just ALWAYS do
this substitution? It won't hurt on older iptables (it will just be a
no-op).
